FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention relates to a jewelry organizer with uniqueslidable features. While several different types of jewelry organizersare known, there is a need for a jewelry organizer that is convenient touse and allows a user to easily view and select jewelry.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] One type of a known jewelry holder is in the form of a containerwith relatively high sides and back walls and a top that is hinged tothe back wall to permit access into the container. Earring stands arefixed to the bottom of the container. A particular problem with thistype of jewelry holder is that it is very difficult to insert and removethe jewelry from the stands because the side walls and hinged top limitthe amount of space available.

[0004] Yet another type of jewelry holder proposes racks that slide intoa boxlike container having a single open side. Again, a problem withthis type of jewelry holder is that because the racks are designed as anintegral part of the box-like container when the racks are removed fromthe container, the racks cannot be placed on a horizontal surfacewithout falling over. In addition, because there is only one open side,access to the jewelry located inside the container is limited.

[0005] U.S. Pat. No. 5,762,184, invented by the present inventor andhereby incorporated by reference discloses a jewelry holder with aplurality of movable earring stands that are positioned on a base. Thebase is in the form of a box with an open front that slidably receives adrawer. The top of the base is provided with a plurality of grooves thatslidably receive the earring stands. The stands include a pair ofsupports joined by a substantially horizontal cross-piece that has atleast one aperture sized to receive a post or stem of an earring. Thestands include a base that is sized to slidably fit within the groovesin the base. Alternatively, clip-on earrings may be directly clippedonto the crosspiece.

[0006] Some organizers are in the form of a piece of furniture, such asan armoire. These types of organizers can hold many more jewelry itemsas well as other items such as lingerie, evening bags, etc. Theseorganizers may have drawers, some having compartments within the drawersto organize jewelry items. In addition, these items may have side doorsoutfitted with necklace bars for holding necklaces.

[0007] It is desirable to provide a jewelry organizer that can hold alarge amount of jewelry in an organized fashion that allows a user tohave direct and easy access to the jewelry contained therein. Inaddition, it is desirable to provide a jewelry organizer that makesvisual inspection of the items contained therein easy. In addition, itis desirable to provide a jewelry organizer that groups like itemstogether.
